Another piece of brilliant acting by Cary Grant. This movie has both it's comedic points and dramatic points. this movie to me showed how human nature at times has it's funny, quirky, angry and terrifying moments. Capra's directing captured the human condition and the camera work was great with the close ups. The scene that caught my attention a lot in this picture when Mortimer was describing a play and how a character in a play gets murder. Meanwhile the whole time the character is himself and that scene had so much drama you would need a organ player just to describe it. Also I felt Cary Grant's facial expressions remind me a lot of Charlie Chaplin's. Both actors in my opinion were comedic in a physical way. In Grant's case his style of expressions was more dramatic.
It's intense because it's in one room where people have died, killing takes place, and another death looked like was about to occur. The more I watched the more I got use to the movie in terms of comfort. We talked about how we become use to the dead bodies because of the situation.
ReplyDeleteWe are submissive to the cause. We are first lenient than take sides for the cause. The main reason being an addition to the purpose. The purpose is full-proof which means there isn't a way to go against it in the wrong way. It happens to be for a better cause. That's the purpose.
When the camera is tilted following Cary Grant(Mortimer) charging up the stairs to blow the horn. That scene of him broadens his performance. That's the scene that catches my attention.
